Man, work has been nucking futz these past two weeks, but I wanted to pass on this brief item:

Veteran game designer Greg Stolze has a new game he's selling using the ransom system (first used to sell his Meatbox Massacre boardgame.) The new product is called ...in Spaaace! It's a sci-fi comedy rpg inspired by Futurama, Hitch Hiker's Guide, and crap like that. The rules of the ransom system are slightly different this time: donations must be at least $10, but they go into an escrow account held by a third party. If the goal of $750 by August 23rd isn't met, then everyone gets their money back.

"Man, is there anything Jeff CAN'T do when it comes to gaming? This guy is like a critical 20 every roll. Jeff can bite the heads offa five game geeks, including their sorry-ass DM, and spit 'em into a large duffel bag ONE AT A TIME!...that's just the kind of messed up bastard he is! You think yer a gamer, punk? Well..do ya? Jeff will depants your weasel-ass right in front of your grandma."
